"Upon further inspection..." Yep, you two are right. Glad to hear it, a new radiator could break the budget. (Well, at least my paltry budget). :)

Lucky you. You actually have a budget.

Ready to pull head, has anyone removed the camshafts without the special tools? Carefully removing each cap slowly all at the same time? I do not have the tools to hold the cams.
Please let me know.
Also, what are the two little dowels for on the ring gear?

Never mind, I made some tools.

I've removed all my cams using the be careful mode, break the bolts loose in a pattern, then do each one a turn or so at a time making sure the cam isn't stuck in the bottom bearing.

Yaahoo, the head is back together, valves are in I mean, now I am goint to sandblast and powder coat the aluminum intake components while I wait for my parts order, Injector seals, Tensioner boot, spark plug clips, etc,
I will post pictures when done.

Engine is power washed
 

Finally got over 40 here, I was able to clean the engine block.

Ok, brining you up to date,
Every weekend I think, today is the day and then I stumble on something else I need.They shorted me an O ring for the water crossover and I am hooking up the timing belt warning light that had been disabled in the past.I have been able to find out where all the vacuum hoses and wire harnesses go, so maybe in a couple weeks VRooooom.Then it is on to clear the title.
